The tug Relief accompanied us as far a:
! Fort Point to bid us good-by. Our stay or
board the stanch and noble ship Australi;
was made very pleasant by the most hos
pitable manner in which we were treated
by the commander and his officers. Durins
the first two days sea-sickness was giyeI
first consideration, so that not much effor
was made toward amusement. About th,
third day out the chief officer produced
shutfie-board and some Quoits, which
served TO while away the time
| Near the middle of the week we wer,
treated to toasts and speeches, Grand Mas
ter Atkinson acting as POSTMASTER. I'm
promptu speeches were made by II On
Paul Neumann, of the Hawaiian Islands
S. A. Barker, of San Jose; T. ]. Crowley, O
San Rafael; Senators Johnston, of Rich
land, and Whitney, of Oakland, and man,
| others. The last evening on board the ex
cursionists gave a champagne supper t
the officers of the ship, at which time th,
| festivities were continued.
AT their own expense, j. d. Spreckels &
Co. furnished us with an orchestra com
posed OF three very fine musicians, and VIZ
listened to some excellent music We OTTER
INDUCED in promenade on the hurricane
deck after dinner, and on two evenings VIZ
had dancing in the dining saloon. The
smoking-room was the favorite resort O.
the gentlemen, who beguiled the time
therein putting their fragrant cheroots anG
| playing cards.
| Sunday morning we had services in the
saloon conducted by Rev. J. E. Benton
Senator Whitney reading one of Beecher'.
sermons. In the evening Mr.. Lawless, thu
| Chief Officer of the ship, explained to The
passengers assembled in the saloon some O
the principles of navigation.
| Tuesday morning we sighted land to the
southward-the island of Molokai. In {
little while Diamond Head, tall precipict
at the entrance TO Honolulu harbor, came
into view. We were then boarded by {
pilot and several Masons who came out t.
meet us. AT - o'clock noon we arrived il
the harbor of Honolulu, Island of Oahu
As we drew up to the wharf the far-fame(
Royal Hawaiian Band, which was sta
toned there, rendered few selections, am
we stepped off into foreign land.
